Hi,

Just wondering how good is Transcent CF card ?
Planning to buy 32 GB. They are about the price of Sandisk 16 GB CF cards

Have heard of failures with these cards. Rather get the Sandisk Ultra2 if you're on a budget.

I bought one 32gb transcend card for my honeymoon trip n it conked out on me during the trip. Suddenly after 100+ shots my a900 cannot read the card. Brought it back n luckily can still recover the pictures taken.

Stick to sandisk. It is more reliable. If u really want one, I can sell u mine for 50$. Haha

I had used 2 transcend CF cards and they are serving me well but one of my 2 Sandisk failed.
I guess no matter which brand there will also be failures as well.
